The Hidden Health Costs of Permanent Daylight Saving Time

Explore the complex intersection of public policy, corporate lobbying, and human biology. This episode examines why the debate over permanent daylight saving time is more than just a matter of convenience. We dive into the historical origins of clock shifting, the influence of retail industry pressure, and the critical role of circadian rhythms in our long-term health. By analyzing scientific research on sleep, cortisol, and metabolic well-being, we compare the potential impacts of permanent daylight saving time versus permanent standard time.
